Classic tough guy Action film about Roger Murtaugh (Glover) an aging family man and sensible veteran police officer just trying to make it through the day unscathed while young Martin Riggs (Gibson) is a suicidal Lethal Weapon police officer who doesn't care if he even lives to see the end of the day, since the death of his wife 3 years earlier. Reluctantly thrown together to solve the mysterious death of a banker's daughter, the unlikely duo uncovers a dangerous ring of drug smugglers employing ex-military mercenaries run by Shadow Company's leader, General Peter McAllister, and his right hand man, the intimidating Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey before his motorcycle accident), who want Riggs and Murtaugh dead, no matter what the cost. The feeling is mutual after a tragic turn of events, as the mission becomes personal and the mismatched investigators must learn to trust one another as they wage a two-man war against the deadly sadistic criminal organization.
